What the Internet was for the 1990s, green jobs are for the 2000s.

When I decide to do something, I do it.

You help me, I'll help you. That's politics.

You need money to get out your message.

I think sometimes Richmond, especially the House of Delegates, thinks too small... Richmond is not doing what needs to be done, forward thinking, big bold ideas.

I've done business with people I've met in politics, who I went to law school with, who I grew up with. Who do you do business with? People you meet in life.

I've gone to China, bought a manufacturing company and moved it to America. Now China wants to buy back some of that new technology from me. That's a great story for America.

Everyday is a new opportunity.

I could never drive in a great big car; people like me because I'm a man of the people, a hustler.

I'm always jacked up. I'm pumped up. It's just, I love life and I'm having fun.

I've always been an entrepreneur, but it's never been about the money. I like a challenge, the harder the better.

One-third of Americans have already been forced to change their lifestyle because their disposable income is gone. A guy can't go to the corner bar after a rough day at work to have a beer, that's gone to oil!

Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.

I invested in many companies, and I'm happy this one worked. This is capitalism. You invest in stock, it goes up, it goes down. You know, if you don't like capitalism, you don't like making money with stock, move to Cuba or China.

Anyone in politics would like to have great economic numbers.

As governor, I don't want my fair share. I want more than my fair share.

Everybody in this public arena makes statements and gets interpreted different ways.

I have big ideas. If you don't like them, don't vote for me.

I just operate on the assumption that all phone conversations are bugged.

I started my first business at 14!
